    Hi folks.

    Ive got half a pint of dirty used citrus de-greaser that I'm loath to release 'into the environment' Does anyone know of a safe way to dispose it? Stupid me for not checking before i bought it :(

    Wouldn't have thought citrus would be a problem. Don't suppose it settles like white spirit so you could reuse most of it? Failing that take it to the tip they'll have waste chemical facilities.

    Of course, they are all a pain to get to unless you live very close or have a car, especially if you are carrying the sorts of things that you might want to leave at a tip! Tried once to take old paint to Seafield. Never again, unless someone offers me a lift.
